This bridge was originally one of five spans that carried Collins Road over the Manitowoc River in the Town of Rockland. Built in 1911, it was replaced in 2001 and moved to Pinecrest historical Village. This span is preserved to illustrate the typical riveted-metal truss construction of Warren Pony Truss bridges. These bridges were prevalent in Wisconsin from the early 20th century through the 1930's. After that time, concrete bridges were promoted as less costly to build, maintenance free, and easily widened to meet changing traffic needs.
